Merzouga Desert – Morocco’s Golden Escape
Deep in southeastern Morocco lies Merzouga, a small village that opens the door to the vast and awe-inspiring Erg Chebbi dunes. This stunning stretch of the Sahara is known for its towering golden sand dunes, some reaching up to 150 meters, creating a breathtaking backdrop for adventure and reflection.
Merzouga offers an authentic desert experience—camel rides at sunset, nights under a sky full of stars, and stays in traditional Berber camps. The silence of the desert is profound, interrupted only by the gentle breeze or the soft footsteps of camels on the sand.
Whether you’re seeking the thrill of a 4×4 excursion or the serenity of watching the sunrise over endless dunes, Merzouga is a place where time slows down and the spirit of the Sahara comes alive.
